Just don't tell them the traffic numbers. If you send out a letter where you say something like "It seems like your traffic is 100k/month..." you will look like an ass, for several reasons.
So there's no way you can guess website's traffic.
Check out this article that we've recently published: https://serpstat.com/blog/how-to-sell-your-seo-services/ it should give you an idea on how to prepare a valid offer.
Focus on metrics that you know better than website owners, like how high their competitors' visibility is or how many keywords there are in their niche that they ignore and etc. And if you'll be interested in trying Serpstat for this purpose - shoot me a PM, I can get you a trial code. Cheers.
Hey man. We've literally just started working on white label, stage one was released yesterday: https://serpstat.com/blog/we-started-developing-serpstat-white-label-check-out-the-first-results/
Check it out if you have time, the tool is freemium but I can hook you (or anyone who's interested) up with a trial coupon so you can test it with higher limits.
Hey, man. I think I can help you out here. We're making this: https://serpstat.com
and there is quite a lot of stuff to take care of.
1st you need powerful servers to store the data, data is recorded 24/7 and the speed is only limited by HDD recording speed.
You also need a lot of proxies to parse the data for different regions without having to enter captchas and etc.
Then you need a couple of math and analytics experts to sort the data and come up with formulas to calculate stuff like competition, difficulty, visibility and etc.
then you need to write a bunch of scripts for various sorting methods to provide the reports.
I'f I didn't miss anything, that's the foundation. And then there's much much more stuff to work on.
Hi, guys! Greetings from Ukraine :)
We are a new-ish tool called Serpstat and we do Keyword Research, Competitor Analysis, Backlinks, Rank Tracking and Site Audit.
We'd love if you could take a look at our tool an tell us what you think – https://serpstat.com
We've recently been featured on Producthunt and scored a #1 in tech and top 3 of the week (alongside Google Pixel and Facebook Marketplace).
We'd love to have some feedback, constructive and destructive criticism and basically anything that will help us make it better.
Thanks and feel free to contact us here about anything Serpstat-related. If you want a disocunt or a free trial or a demo so we can show you how everythig works – just let us know! Cheers.
Ok, this post is 100% advertisement, but it's relevant to OP's question, so don't get mad if you can.
Serpstat shows the precise search volume.
Our cheapest plan costs $19 and you get keyword research, competitor analysis, backlinks, rank tracking and site audit. It's freemium, give it a go and if you'll have any questions – let us know. https://serpstat.com/
Don't target what you sell in your title, target what people will be searching in google. Your most popular relevant query is obviously "travel hammock", but it's not really good for content.
Who's your audience? I assume people who love camping and travels? Then you should write for them. Example "5 things for better camping experience"
Or even better, use search suggestions that google shows for the word camping, especially the ones in forms of questions: https://serpstat.com/keywords/questions/?query=camping&se=g_us
http://i.imgur.com/wal04zS.jpg
seems like "what to bring camping" is your best option, so "What to bring camping: 5 things that will make your trip much better"
Then list some common bullshit things and add that hammock to the list
Lots of SEO practices. Too much to summarize here. Research it. Think of SEO as "making what you are about obvious to google", not beating the system. Google is so much smarter than you at this point that most attempts to beat the system will backfire - sometimes harshly (as in you completely disappear from search).
I like these tools which will give you a good overview to start:
Google keyword tool is valuable as well.
Once you know your target keywords and feature them prominently in your web copy, what really matters is getting other well established sites to link you your site naturally. This is how google tells how significant you are. "Naturally" means not paid for, not you slipping your url into a forum post etc (usually there will be tags in paid/non-editorial links to tell google not to value it - if someone gets detected linking an ad and doesn't tag it...their search results get penalized). Until then, you will be pages down. This means phone calls, networking, making interesting and useful content even if not directly related to promoting your product, begging, bribing, blackmail (kidding...probably).
Or you can spend some money on google adwords pay per click. Once upon a time this was great, not I am not as sure. Seems like you pay more for less...but it can work well if done right.
Hi. Thanks for the mention and for using Serpstat.
There's only so much our support can do, and they definitely can't violate the terms and conditions of that promo, which we never hid. And I personally warned people not to upgrade, even if they need more limits, it's just better to buy it separately without a discount.
but.
Upgrading users to our regular plan for $1 was our initial and the only plan, which was never a secret. We didn't make money on the appsumo deal, we got good visibility from it and a lot of new users, but no profit.
I understand it's hard looking at things from our perspective, but I'll try to explain a bit.
We have XXXX lifetime users. And we have to make money. Of course majority of these users don't need our paid subscription, but we don't know which ones, so we have to try and upsell everyone.
We tell our users they can upgrade to a plan that costs $149/mo for $1 for the first month. Our targets here are agencies, and people who work with large projects. So we rely on users to make this decision. Do you need to analyze 400,000 pages/mo and make 6,000 requests/day with Serpstat, if you do, here's a deal for you. If you don't - here's a deal for you, but why do you even want to try it if you don't have a use for it.
Sure thing. We'll host a webinar today at 1pm New-York, you can join and learn the basics of keyword research and competitor analysis, as well as some other stuff.
Link: https://serpstat.com/page/webinar-9-march/
Also, check out this: academy.serpstat.com it's kind of our learning center.
ps: everything is free
Hey, man, If you're interested, we're hosting 2 webinars (US time on thursday and UK time on Friday) where we'll show our new users how to use the tool.
It's not supposed to be intuitive. It's 5 search analytics tools in one, each providing tons of variable data, so there's no way we can simplify it. I mean, we could make a button saying [SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT] but I'm not sure what data it should return.
Link to a webinar page: https://serpstat.com/page/webinar/
And you can still buy it after the webinar. It runs till Tuesday.
Some sure are, but still decision is up to users, and google suggestions don't really ahev that big of an influence. Source: we parse and analyze millions of Google autocomplete suggestions. Most have monthly search volumes waaay below average.
You can check out our autocomplete suggestions tool here: https://serpstat.com/keywords/suggestions/ it's free.
It shows you what suggestions are commonly shows for keywords you're interested.
I demoed it, very similar output to keywordinsights.
I think all these tools listed use the same principle. Do a Google search for your list of keywords, scrape all the URLs rankings, if 4 of the same URLs appear for multiple keywords, they are considered a cluster.
For spyserp, serpstat, seranking, topvisor I think you change sensitivity. You can change the level of URL overlap before a keyword is clustered.
I used to use spyserp, but I much prefer the output keywordinsights, KeywordCupid and ContentDistribution. Nice excel file.
This is the article that kind of turned me off of it :https://serpstat.com/blog/how-long-should-be-the-page-url-length-for-seo/
Also, I was checking competitors in my industry and the majority of them use the link structure that I use. I may be overthinking all of this though, I have a tendency to do that!
If I was to change my urls to the format of toothbrush.com/electric/product-name, how would I do it without causing 404 errors? When I changed the permalink my already indexed pages were giving 404 errors as it never redirected to the new permalink.
A few quick notes here.
SEO is never instant. If you want fast results, you'd be best off looking into a pay per click offering like AdWords.
You can check what you and potentially your competitors are ranking for by using a tool like Serpstat.
Moz and SEMRush are other alternatives. Hubspot, Kissmetrics and a couple of other sites do a pretty good job of explaining SEO. A lot of companies refer to the combination of PPC ads and SEO as inbound marketing. You'll find a lot of relevant results by looking further into that.
In terms of flyers, Don't expect people to pick up the phone and call you if they've received a flyer.
A targeted mailout (with a signed letter and the person's name) plus a flyer will usually yield better results than a flyer alone.
Удивительно, что так мало оценок в принципе. У популярных приложений встречаются сотни тысяч оценок..
И - не в обиду бунтовщикам (сам ведь пришёл сюда), эффект какой-то.. Так себе:
​
Ну и Алексы и SeoStat всякий подтверждают, что воздействие незначительное %(((
Okay ty. So mainly test out keywords by typing them in on a google search then analyzing the "related keywords" and "people also search for" on the right-hand side? I assume I would look for a term with decent volume and low comp, are there any other metrics you look at from this tool? Any SERP tools you recommend? A simple google search just found this site (Serpstat.com) seems decent.
create pages that are optimized for your keywords, I recommend 3-5 per page.
P.S. You can compare you clustering result with Serpstat https://serpstat.com/keywords-clustering/
https://serpstat.com/tutorial/677-site-audit/
It will check what SEO errors there are on your website and will show you how to fix them.
As for keywords, google adwords is a good start. You can use keyword planner to find what keywords people search for and use them in your content.
Hey, thought you guys might like this article: https://serpstat.com/blog/launching-on-product-hunt-step-by-step-guide/
We made it to #1 in tech (and #1 ovearall) on the realease day and currently sit as the most upvoted SEO tool (which is what we do). We got >1,200 upvotes
Feel free to PM your questions about PH release if you'll have any.
And good luck with your startups, cheers!
Well, it may be made for customer research, but as long as stream data stores URLs like this: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=reddit it will be used for keyword research.
Source: my username and this: https://serpstat.com/
edit: and of course Google is the only place to get the real data, but since Google is hiding it, 3rd party sources are better for us.
Also try different q&a sites like Quora and Stack Exchange. They generate so much traffic these days. They have a nofollow policy for links but your site might get the bump from the quality traffic sent from there. Here are useful articles about this content marketing strategies:
http://duncanlock.net/blog/2013/06/14/the-smart-guide-to-stack-overflow-zero-to-hero/
https://serpstat.com/blog/how-to-help-your-business-on-quora/
You can use this tool https://serpstat.com/keywords/questions/?query=chewing+gum&ff=1&se=g_us
Just enter a keyword you want to focus on, for example "rockets" and it will give you a list of autocomplete suggestions with this word in form of questions. Or, in other words, you'll get a list of questions with your keyword that is shown here: http://i.imgur.com/Hgcafl7.jpg
You can use these questions as topic ideas for you blog. Simply ask and answer the question in your post.
EDIT: suggestions feature is free with unlimited use, the rest of the features on Serpstat are freemium.
Technically, all of them aren't perfect. I'd want SEmrush's databases with Serstat's ability to break down the domain by pages like here: https://serpstat.com/domains/search_html_tree/?query=ableton.com&se=g_us&format=html_tree
Plus, this: http://i.imgur.com/Sed8fIc.jpg - It shows if the subject is popular in other countries
Since last Google's updates and slashing down many off page shady practices, I'd say on-page now is far more important for your SEO than before. You can read about more detailed here: http://backlinko.com/on-page-seo
Also here's great tips I found very useful: https://serpstat.com/blog/how-to-boost-on-page-seo-like-a-pro/ The good thing about on-page today, is that awful lot of tools and plugins these days can help you doing SEO yourself rather than hiring agencies (that if you're willing to delve into the matter yourself).
Serpstat (https://serpstat.com/) because that's the one I use, can't say it's better or worse than other tools, I just got used to it. Plus it has some nice things for marketing that other tools don't like ONly Questions autocomplete suggestions and in-depth URL analysis, which is fucking AAA stuff, I'm telling you.
Also, in August they will add a backlink analysis, seo audit and rank tracking which I'll be using for free since I have a yearly subscription and they will just upgrade my account, at least according to their blog. So I'll basically get all in one seo platform for $49 which is neat.
